Chapter 113: Fight to the death with them
Even if a million aborigines dare not lie, do the remaining millions of displaced people who fled the famine choose to report the population honestly?
This made Zhuge Liang extremely puzzled.
He understands people's hearts, and he understands the dilemma he is facing now.
That's why he was so surprised and curious.
There were only about 30 people on the border who lied about the population.
How exactly did the Great General do it?
Is it the transfer of household registration information?
No, it shouldn't! Household registration information is the most important and cannot be easily produced.
Even if you take it out, the huge amount of data, the time, energy, and manpower consumed are not cost-effective.
He looked at the officials beside him with a puzzled expression: "How did the general deal with such a situation before?" ”
Without hesitation, the official replied: "Those who lied about the population before, the general will cancel all the benefits of the latter, depending on the seriousness of the circumstances, ranging from one year, three years, five years, and permanently!" ”
After hearing this, Zhuge Liang immediately began to think about the feasibility of this matter.
The purpose of everyone lying is to live a better life, or to give their children and the elderly a better life.
Once you can't achieve your goal, you will lose your current benefits, and naturally no one lies.
If someone is obsessed with this, it can also relieve the financial pressure on the border, so that the general's palace can have more money to expand its armaments.
There are also the biggest benefits in this way.
This measure can make people remember the benefits at the border, the free medical office, and the free private school.
After a long time, everyone thinks that it should be, and they will not think about the good of the border army.
Once there are penalties in place for these people to experience the loss of welfare, everyone will be more vigilant.
will also remember who gave them these benefits.
Soon, Zhuge Liang came up with a new punishment based on this matter.
Those who lie about the population will be punished differently depending on the number of people who make the false report.
Those who lie about three or less people will have their benefits cancelled for three years, and they will enter the observation period after three years, and if they commit another offense, the benefits will be permanently cancelled.
Those who falsely report three or more but less than ten people will have their benefits cancelled for five years, and will enter the observation period after five years, and once they commit another offense, the benefits will be permanently cancelled.
Those who falsely report more than 10 people will directly and permanently cancel the benefits.
As soon as the announcement came out, it quickly caused a sensation among the people in Tai'an City.
Next to the notice, some literate people were surrounded by a crowd and asked him to read the contents of the notice.
The readers then read the notice aloud.
Hearing the notice, many people not only did not object, but supported Zhuge Liang's decision.
"It's long overdue, the meat that the general finally got is for everyone to spend the winter, not for you to enjoy."
"That is, if you lie about claiming meat by mouth, won't everyone else go hungry?"
"If you want me to say, it's not enough to cancel the benefits, it's better to give him a hard fine, so that he likes to be cheap!"
As soon as his point of view came out, the people cheered and supported it.
Everyone felt that those who lied about the population should be punished.
For a while, everyone surrounded him, wanting him to go to the general's mansion with him to make suggestions.
On the other side, Su Mo didn't know what was happening in Tai'an City, and Cheng Meng and the others beside him rushed over with a snowy face.
"General, the military advisor has sent a letter, and the border food crisis will soon be alleviated."
"Just take two or three more strongholds."
On the side, Chen Wu and the others were all overjoyed, and rushed to Cheng Meng's side one after another and took the letter in his hand.
After reading the content, everyone was overjoyed.
The food crisis was about to be solved, and their efforts were not in vain, and everyone was extremely excited at this time.
But in addition to the excitement, everyone has new questions.
Do you want to go deeper?
It stands to reason that there is only one or two strongholds of food missing.
As long as you avoid the Hun army, you can also get it by hunting in the grassland, and everyone doesn't need to fight hard.
After all, they were not sure that they would be able to defeat the Huns 100%.
Even if it wins, everyone thinks it should be a miserable victory, and the trade-off is that safari is the best plan.
They looked at Su Mo, intending to let Su Mo have an idea.
Looking at everyone's expressions, Su Mo knew what they were thinking, and said, "This time we not only want to alleviate this year's food crisis, but also completely solve the food crisis in the future!" ”
"So this time we have to split the victory with the Huns!"
"Understood?"
Looking at Su Mo's figure, everyone shouted angrily in unison: "Understood!" ”
Before Su Mo could arrange the battle plan, a scout rushed over quickly, he didn't have time to wipe the snow and frost on his face, and said anxiously: "General, the Huns are fifty miles away, and I hope the general will decide!" ”
Listening to the scout's report, Su Mo did not panic at all.
Looking not far away with a calm expression, he turned to the scout and said, "Report every three miles, return when you encounter the enemy, and then spread out thirty miles to find out if there are any reinforcements coming!" ”
The leader of the scouts bowed down to receive the order, then turned on his horse and quickly left.
As Su Mo made a decision, the prompt sound of the system also sounded in his mind.
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining 3,000 catties of Tianlong rice seeds, may I ask if you want to sow seeds?"
Looking at the snow all over him, Su Mo silently canceled the sowing.
Then assign responsibilities to the lieutenants.
When the lieutenants beside Su Mo saw him make such an arrangement, they suddenly knew what Su Mo meant.
This is to meet the enemy head-on and leave no retreat for the border army.
Chen Wu and the others were all overjoyed.
Previously, Su Mo defeated his own millions of troops with 300,000 border troops, and he always felt a little strange.
I always thought that there should be a magic weapon such as a unique formation to help.
The border army has been in contact for dozens of days, and he has also verified his guess that the border army does have some special formations.
It's just that everyone themselves don't know what the magic of this formation is, only that the general has immortal means.
Since then, he has developed a strong interest in Su Mo.
He was very curious about how Su Mo could create such a border army at such a young age.
He was well aware of the situation at the border.
In such a harsh environment, he could still train a border army with such terrifying combat power, and the forces behind Su Mo made him shudder.
It is precisely because of this that he also chose to sincerely assist Su Mo.
He felt that this would be an opportunity for him to reach the pinnacle of his life, and to surpass the status of his ancestors in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Now that the opportunity is in front of him, he is looking forward to it.
He was the defeated side, but now he will be the commander of the vanguard army with less victory.
Just as he was thinking about how to make meritorious contributions, Su Mo was perfecting the idea of sending troops to deploy the formation.
He now has 30,000 vanguard cavalry in his hands, plus 10,000 cavalry followed by the Chinese army, and there are only 40,000 people available.
However, the Xiongnu mobilized a million troops to come, facing a huge gap in numbers.
Not only to borrow the might of the formation, but also to use the previous drums of courage.
But even so, he needed to use 40,000 cavalry reasonably.
The advantage of fewer people and fewer people, compared with the Huns, their 40,000 people will be more mobile, and the Huns can only use cavalry to encircle and suppress.
According to previously collected intelligence, the Huns had about half a million cavalry.
Among them, the king of the left sage and the right sage had a total of 150,000 cavalry.
The royal court had 200,000 cavalry, and the rest of the scattered tribes had about 50,000 cavalry.
40,000 cavalry against 500,000 cavalry, once they fall into the quagmire, it is a never-ending battle, enough to drag the cavalry to death.
He has a bloody array, so he doesn't have to worry about the physical strength and injuries of the soldiers.
However, too many war horse corpses and Hun cavalry corpses made the ground slippery, and it was difficult for the cavalry to perform.
In addition, now that we are in winter, the ground will freeze directly, which will be more dangerous.
A series of questions require Su Mo to think more and constantly weigh the pros and cons.
Whether to use the mobility of the cavalry to involve the Huns, or wait until the corpses accumulate too much, directly fight with the Huns, and give up the mobility of the cavalry.
There are pros and cons to these two, and it is difficult for Su Mo to choose.
If you choose to use cavalry to pull you, you can also use mobility to leave the grassland after defeat to avoid annihilation.
If you choose to dismount and fight, you are gambling that the Huns will fight to the death with them.
